 Tom Holland has admitted sobriety is the 'best thing he's ever done' after becoming 'enslaved' to alcohol. The Spider-Man actor, 27, who has been sober for over a year now, has candidly spoken about his addiction to booze after he realised he needed to make a change to his drinking habits. Appearing on podcast On Purpose with Jay Shetty, Tom said: 'I was definitely addicted to alcohol, not shying away from that at all. 'I think that anyone that has a beer every day has probably got a little bit of a problem.' The Billy Elliot star, who is in a relationship with Zendaya, admitted he would 'drink and drink and drink and drink' until breaking point, and then wake up in the morning with 'a terrible headache.' As a result, the Wolf Hall actor found himself wondering: 'Why am I enslaved to this drink? Why am I so obsessed by the idea of having this drink?

He explained: 'I felt like I couldn't be social. I felt like I couldn't go to the pub and have a lime soda. I couldn't go out for dinner. Tom, who is in a relationship with Zendaya, has now been sober for more than a year (Picture: Getty) 'I was really, really struggling and I started to really worry that maybe I had an alcohol problem.' However, the Uncharted actor reached a turning point as he approached his birthday last month, and set himself a target of hitting 'six months without alcohol' to prove he doesn't 'have a problem.' Tom continued: 'And by the time){kind=link}
